Two years ago they had a horrible hay fire. They thankfully got all the horses out but, the owners prized carts(One was from gone in the wind) were burned. They rebuilt a barn...very pretty, but its not the same. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I can get some pictures if I go riding over there soon.

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Horsemad! You are right, Witteveen Friesians is in Paris and all of Martha Stewart's Friesians came from there.  One of her guys is full brother to my Vixen.  It is a cool place and I try to stay away from there so I don't get tempted.  Buying Friesians can become an expensive habit.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
